Beatriz Flamini and her 500 day experiment
Beatriz Flamini is a Spanish mountain climber who recently emerged from a cave 70 metres (230 feet) underground after spending 500 days isolated from the outside world.
50-year-old Flamini entered the cave on Saturday, 20 November 2021, just three months before Russia invaded Ukraine. She reportedly spent her time exercising, drawing and knitting woolly hats. According to her support team, she got through 60 books and 1,000 litres of water.
Flamini entered the cave located outside Granada in order to learn more about how the human mind and body deals with extreme solitude and deprivation. She was down there with no sense of time, and revealed how she stopped counting days after some 60 days.
Throughout the experiment, a team of scientists from three universities – Almería, Granada, and Murcia monitored her. They kept in touch through special, limited messaging technology. While her team claims that the 50-year-old athlete from Madrid has broken the world record for the longest time a person has spent alone in a cave, it still hasn’t been confirmed as of yet.
As a Spanish TVE station provided footage of Flamini climbing out of the cave blinking and smiling as she embraced well-wishers, she shared:
I’m still stuck on November 21, 2021. I don’t know anything about the world.”
Flamini shares her experiences
Following her exit from the cave, Flamini described her experiences of being cut off from the world as “excellent, unbeatable.” She then excused herself to take a shower, as she had not had one in over 16 months.
During this difficult stay, she was also supplied with food and water through exchanges that took place in an intermediate point of the cave. She entered the cave on 21 November 2021 and celebrated her two birthdays in the cave. Significantly,
Beatriz Flamini completed her 500-day challenge living 70 meters (230 feet) deep in a cave outside Granada with minimal contact outside. Her family details are not known.
The extreme athlete described about an invasion of flies, and how she still stayed determined not to give up, citing the experience as one of her worst memories. She also described experiencing “auditory hallucinations”.
She stated:
You are silent and the brain makes it up”.
Flamini revealed how she spent her time:
to read, to draw, to weave, to be, to enjoy. I am where I want to be”.
She also admitted to missing certain things but said:
this is part of the project. There is nothing to do but accept it.”
